- script not uploaded in correct format
Usually this means that you have FTP'd the script to your webspace in BINARY instead of ASCII. The only time a cgi script should be uploaded in BINARY is if it is an encrypted php for ioncube. - file permissions set incorrectly
For scripts to execte correctly they should be world-executable, and not world-writable - i.e. CHMOD 755
Any script you try to run that hasn't been set with chmod 755 will result in an internal server error. - Your script is accessing files outside of your hosting path
Any script trying to access files outside of your own directory tree will have that access denied. This is a security measure. Please ensure all the files required by your script are within the directory sructure allocated to you. - You have incorrectly set the path to Perl in your script.
Try /usr/bin/perl - error within the script itself
Often this is you have used invalid Perl arguments - missing a required PERL module(s)
- script attempts to use restricted system/executable commands
- script is banned from our systems
example of banned scripts are- IRC relays/bouncers/eggdrops used by script kiddies
- know exploitable formmail scripts used by spammers
- insecure buletin board and chatroom software
Always check your Error Logs when troubleshooting any script problems.
